British humorist (and technology enthusiast) Stephen Fry is coming to America. His new show–helpfully titled “Stephen Fry in America” has just begun airing on the BBC.

Even better for those of us west of Iceland, there’s a long excerpt from the book of the same name on Fry’s blog. In it, Stephen muses on how his life would have been different had his father accepted a job at Princeton and his son been raised as “Steve.” Fry also visits Ben and Jerry and mingles with Mormons. It’s a long excerpt.

The companion book is on sale in the UK, but it’s not available in the US as yet.–David E
